Short one today… For total calories, every 2 minutes for 16 minutes

  • 8 x Thrusters @ 95lbs
  • Max Calorie Row

Results: 108 calories (including slop at the end of each row… did not reset the counter). Wow… tough one. Did all sets of Thrusters unbroken and still only had 1 minute to row. Recommend picking a weight which is challenging, but you can do without setting the bar down for all 8 rounds… otherwise there won’t be enough time to row.
